Worwyk
Worwyk – Studio Project
http://myspace.com/worwyk
Worwyk plays authentic heavy metal combining melodic, semi-technical riffs with scorching solos and aggressive vocals. The band is strictly a studio project, fronted by Tom Vitacco, a musician based in the suburbs of Chicago. After playing in a couple of local Chicago metal bands, Tom found he enjoyed the recording aspect more than trying to keep a band together, so he built a small home studio to record his music. Tom writes all the music for Worwyk, and handles all the mixing, mastering and production for the band. Since the band is a studio project only, Worwyk does not play live.
In 2006, Worwyk began searching for a metal vocalist whose voice would fit the new tracks being written – someone with an aggressive, modern voice that was clean enough to be understood while rough enough to blend in perfectly with Tom’s riffs. While online, Tom came across the band Dragonlips, which was also a one-man project band fronted by Mike O’Hara and based in Pennsylvania. Tom really liked the tunes and thought Mike’s voice was exactly what he was looking for, so he contacted him to see if he would be interested in collaborating on the disc. Mike agreed to sing on the disc and the collaboration turned out excellent. The result was called In Solitude and it featured eight tracks of modern metal with an old-school vibe, perfectly complemented by Mike’s aggressive yet comprehensible vocals.
In 2008, Tom began writing the songs for the next Worwyk disc. Unfortunately, Mike did not have the time required to work on the new songs so Tom contacted Jason Russo from the band Darkling (based in Buffalo, NY) about singing on the new album. Jason agreed to collaborate with Tom on the new songs and the new disc, entitled Malignant, was released in May of 2009 to great reviews.
Stay metal!
